Health Insurance
Trinity University
requires all students, undergraduate and graduate, enrolled for nine
or more semester hours or enrolled in a full-time graduate program to have current hospitalization and accident
insurance.
To comply with the
mandatory insurance requirement, students must submit information
about their health insurance to Health Services prior to their
initial registration and each spring before registration for the
following fall semester. Students who fail to provide proof of
personal insurance by July 1, 2009 will be enrolled in the Student
Health Insurance Plan and the premium will be included in the
university bill.

Please note that treatment at Health Services does not require

access health care off campus, consult with a specialist and have
coverage for emergency treatment and hospitalization.

times.

Managed Care
Students from outside the local area
who are covered under managed care plans (e.g., HMOs, POS, and
prescription drug plans) should
clarify their coverage while in San Antonio. Many such plans
restrict coverage to emergencies only when students are out of their
home coverage area. Please consult your health plan representative
about the nature and limits of coverage for physician fees,
hospital costs, laboratory and radiology tests, and prescription
plans in San Antonio. Students should be familiar with their
coverage so that they can specify particular labs or pharmacies if
necessary. The Health Services staff may help identify local
resources that meet the requirements of individual managed care
plans. |
